Question

Rewrite y = x2 + 14x + 29 in general form. (1 point)
Rewrite y = 3x2 - 24x + 10 in general form. (1 point)

Answer 1

y = x^2 + 14x + 29 is already in general form.
In standard form, y = (x^2 + 14x + 49) - 20 = (x + 7)^2 - 20

y = 3x^2 - 24x + 20 = 3(x^2 - 8x + 16) - 38 = 3(x - 4)^2 - 38

(x - 9)^2 = 1
x - 9 = ± 1
x = 9 ± 1
x = 10 or x = 8

Answer 2

What is general form?
